Very disgusted by two of the reviews posted. Not only do these "teachers" display horrible manners and a complete lack of professionalism, but it is obvious that they have NO classroom management skills what so ever. To them I say; don't blame the text for your inability to manage your class.
This was a very interesting short story with multiple currents to ride with your students.

I so appreciate getting this story from you. While our students will like reading online, I am wondering if I have can print and copy the story for a coursepack?
